Care Philosophy

I believe in working together with my patients to help them understand their heart and vascular conditions. I strive to provide the best options available for treatment, and help my patients select a personalized plan tailored to the goals of each individual. I will take the time to explain in detail the state of your heart disease, as well as the proposed diagnostic tests and possible interventions. I will also be available to answer any questions that might come up at any point in time. My goal is to help my patients get better by delivering excellent and compassionate medical care using minimally invasive procedures when indicated.
